“Why doesn’t the person have a head?”

We hear it every day.
So let’s talk about it.
These figures are faceless on purpose because they’re not portraits of people. They’re portraits of feeling.
The suits suggest something familiar: masculinity, professionalism, strength. But with the face removed, you're not being told who to see. You’re being asked how it makes you feel. A loosened tie, an open collar, a whisky in hand — these gestures carry more emotion than a smile ever could.
There is power in restraint. Stillness. Presence.
These works explore identity through absence, inviting you to project your own meaning onto the figure: someone you love, someone you were, someone you want to be.
Up close, they are wild and abstract. Messy, even. Step back, and the image sharpens into clarity: strong, composed, and quietly alive.
So yes, the heads are missing. Intentionally.
The rest is up to you
